President Trump took to Twitter on Thursday to declare that “low-life leakers” who spoke to the New York Times “will be caught.”

The Times recently reported, using anonymous sources, that members of Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and other Trump associates spoke with Russian intelligence in the year before the election. What many consider to be top-notch journalism is a threat to Trump, who is on the attack against whoever leaked the information.

Leaking, and even illegal classified leaking, has been a big problem in Washington for years. Failing @nytimes (and others) must apologize!

The Times did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment.

Trump has been on a mission to discredit reports that use anonymous sources, recently writing, “The real story here is why are there so many illegal leaks coming out of Washington?” Ironic, given that before winning election, he proclaimed to “love WikiLeaks,” and read hacked emails related to opponent Hillary Clinton that Julian Assange’s site had made public.

The president and his team continue to attack the media on a regular basis, with Steve Bannon referring to the press as the “opposition party” as recently as Wednesday, according to a variety of White House correspondents.

Just yesterday, Trump tweeted that MSNBC and CNN are “unwatchable,” while praising “Fox & Friends.”

The fake news media is going crazy with their conspiracy theories and blind hatred. @MSNBC & @CNN are unwatchable. @foxandfriends is great!

In addition to his tweets, Trump has staged a mini protest against mainstream media by only calling on news organizations that he considers friendly during recent press conferences.

“In the last three news conferences, all of the questions to the America news media have been handled by conservative press,” CNN’s Jim Acosta said on air following Wednesday’s news conference. “The fix it in.”

“I think always in the public eye you’re gonna be scrutinized, and he is the president," she said. "We have to join him. If you can’t beat him, join him."

She added, "You know, I think it would be a positive thing for America to show their care and support, and for him to experience what it's like for these people... experience how giving Turkey has been to the refugees and how many they have welcomed in."

A few weeks before Donald Trump's inauguration, "Lion" star Nicole Kidman took some backlash for saying that Americans "need to support whoever the president is." The actress, who holds dual U.S. and Australian citizenship, later clarified that her comments were simply a call for unity and support of democracy.

During the press tour for his movie "Gold," Matthew McConaughey told the U.K.'s ChannelIFI that it's time for Americans to "embrace" Trump. "It's time to think about how constructive can you be because he's our president," McConaughey said.

"American Psycho" author Bret Easton Ellis accused Trump protesters of "overreaction" at the opening of his art exhibit in London, according to the Irish Examiner. "I don't really know what the path to power is with protest, it's done, this is where we are," the author said, accusing protesters, social media and celebrities of "aiding" divisiveness.
